Do colleges conduct interviews for management students, and how does that affect my application in New Zealand for a Master's?

It depends. In New Zealand, some universities may require interviews for master's management programs, while others rely mainly on your academic records and application documents.

If an interview is part of the process, it allows the admissions team to assess your communication skills, motivation, and fit for the program. A strong interview can boost your chances, especially if other parts of your application are average. However, a poor interview may impact your chances negatively, even with strong academics.
